Hi folks ... Little Grebe on choppy water , wished for smoother wind .... but the wind did not listen .
So I had to live with it ... and as you know , I can
Canon EOS 1Dx
EF 500 IS L II + 2x TC III
Tripod
F 9 ; Iso 3200 : 1/1600 sec
Processed with DPP 4 and PS CC 2021 ; slightly cropped to 85 % of FF
Thanks for watching and commenting to my previous posting
The subject holds my attention, being well focused and detailed, the eye looks spot on and the droplet on the bill adds interest. As you say the water is neither here nor there, the subject is the grebe.
Great shot, love the clarity, colors and action on the water but I would bring the bird a bit forward in the frame and maybe crop a fraction tighter. The vast expanse of blurry water in the front seems unnecessary while the grebe seems to deserve a bit more for all that detail.
Nice low angle and I really like the water drop hanging from the bill. Nothing you can do about the choppy water. I think the placement in the frame is perfect IMO.
Nice detail on the bird Andreas, ....Good HA and the drop adds...I would try reducing the HL's on the water....It looks a wee bit bright to me, against the bird...
The color of the bird surprised me as all of our small grebes are a dark brown. Good job with the processing and the color of the water. And yes to some off the bottom.
with love, artie
